Abstract
For the current realization of the quantum affine algebras, Drinfeld gave a simple comultiplication of the quantum current operators. With this comultiplication, we study the related vertex operators for the case of Uq (s-fraktur sign̂l-fraktur signn) and give an explicit bosonization of these new vertex operators. We use these vertex operators to construct the quantum current operators of Uq(s-fraktur sign̂l-fraktur signn) and discuss its connection with quantum boson-fermion correspondence.
